Cemetery Road
About
Caroline Harper still thinks of her brother Andy every day. For more than fifty years, she's carried the memory of the last time she saw him—when he left home to spend thirty days at Florida's largest reform school. Her family was told Andy ran away in the middle of the night. She never believed it.
Sean O'Brien receives a letter from a dead man. A year earlier, the man had chartered O'Brien's boat for a fishing trip. Now he's reaching from the grave with a final request: find a killer.
The trail leads to Jackson County, Florida, and the grounds of the old reform school—a place still carrying the smoldering baggage of the Civil War. After half a century, powerful forces don't want a forensics investigation on that property. Because digging up the past will reveal one of the nation's darkest secrets and let Caroline know what really happened to Andy.
Another gripping thriller in the internationally popular Sean O'Brien series—where buried truths demand justice, no matter the cost.
